Paula Overby for US Senate

Paula Overby will announce her campaign for US Senate among a group of community organizers at Winona State University on Nov 15 at 6pm, hosted by the Green Party of Winona County.

Paula Overby is taking a leadership role in the independent movement by announcing a statewide campaign for US Senate. Paula conducted two campaigns for the US House in 2014 and 2016, advancing her share of the vote from 5% to 8%, showing that more and more voters are looking for new voices to speak up for them in government.

Paula believes that her principled and consistent positions on the issues, growing public demand for a third party, and providing a meaningful choice at the ballot box will help overcome the significant challenges of running a third party campaign. Energetic organizing among minor parties, dissatisfaction with politics as usual, and the growth of issues-oriented activism is reaching a critical mass, creating the environment for a successful third party campaign.

The major parties cooperate on expansion of the war budget while giving mere lip service to the major concerns of healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Paula's campaign will address inequity in economic opportunity and the need for livable wages, which are a priority in an economy that 70% of Americans know is rigged against them.
